Welcome

Adimasu Tours is a young but very successful tour company established in April 2010 by Adimasu Gebeyehu. Adimasu is a young South-Omo-Valley born Ethiopian with 8 years of experience as a freelance tour guide before he realised his dream of a self-employed tour operator with the support of Carsten Gruener, Germany.

An extensive knowledge about all the facets of unique Ethiopia and the joy meeting travellers from all over the world had been Adimasu`s contribution as founder of the company. Today these are the basics when we recruit new colleagues as guides, drivers or cooks to support our team.

Meanwhile we have an entire team of absolutely reliable drivers and exceptionally knowledgeable guides speaking many of the more than 80 different “Ethiopian” languages. Our a fleet consists of invariably well maintained vehicles. We also own two newly established permanent campsites, one in Kibish Suri and the other one in West Omo Valley.

At Adimasu Tours, every trip is customized to your needs. Every itinerary is flexible at all times. Even while we’re on the tour we are open to your needs and if required we can alter the programme spontaneously at request.

Consequently we are one of the foremost and best established tour companies providing excellent and reliable travel service all over the country. We were awarded the third prize for the most reliable travel agencies in 2012 by the Ethiopian Ministry of Culture and Tourism. We would be glad being a part of your adventure.

Welcome to Ethiopia.

Ethiopia

Ethiopia - officially known as the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia - is the second most populous nation in Africa with more than 74 million people and more than 80 different ethnic groups, with the three largest being Oromo, Amhara & Tigre. The country is as big as 1.127.127 square kilometres. It lies in the north-east corner of Africa, bordered in the west by Sudan, the north by Eritrea, the east by Djibouti and Somalia, and the south by Kenya.

With an altitude up to 3000 mtrs. the capital Addis Ababa is the third highest in the world with a large number of diplomatic missions, like the head quarters of African Union (AU), the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI), the United Nation Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and of more than 90 other diplomatic missions and embassies.

Throughout the world the nation is known for its more than 2000 years old history and for the fact that it`s the sole african

country which never had been colonized. The monuments of the Axumite Empire, the rock hewn churches of Lalibela, the castles of Gondar and the walled city of Harrar are only a few of the historical UNESCO World Heritage sites in Africa.

Ethiopia is one of a few African countries to have its own alphabet, time system and unique calendar which is seven to eight years behind the Gregorian calendar.

All over the country scientists are currently making the most important contributions to our knowledge of the human origin and development. It’s homeland to coffee, to Lucy, the oldest human fossil, and to the first marathon athlete, Abebe Bikila, who ran barefoot to Gold in the Olympics.

Ethiopia struggled a long time with droughts and famines. But this image has changed over the years and Ethiopia now is enjoying an increasing interest among travellers and tourists.
